bumitek02: guy you can't withdraw the money after printing your SOA because they will still ask you to print another one after two weeks so if you touch your money it will reflect. So live the cash in your account to avoid interruption.

ask u to print another one after two weeks of what? is it before the VISA application or after the VISA application? please clarify me. Thanks.

ogompaul: please I want to be sure I understood what u said above, are u saying I can deposit the money three weeks to d day I would want to print d SOA so far I've been making transactions for the past three months. please clarify. Thanks.

That's how am seeing it bro. Other bosses up there can help with this when they come online. BUT since they require 3months transaction proof, what am thinking is they wanna see inflow and outflow of cash from your account (at least 1.5m) and also see you have the 1.5 as at the time of application. If they really want the cash to be in there for three months, then they will be using a blocked account like the German ppl.

ogompaul: ask u to print another one after two weeks of what? is it before the VISA application or after the VISA application? please clarify me. Thanks.

Once you apply, you are to print the SOA. What @bumitek is saying is they will check the account from the bank to see if you still got the cash. It can be 2weeks after application and it can be one month.

I think i need to make it clearer now..

There is no general rule about how and when the money should be deposited. The fact is, u need to have 6720 euros for a year's permit. Hence you need to be able to convince the guy handling your file in migri. However from experience, take note of the following.

* They require SOA for the past 3 months (I noticed 3 months is being mentioned here. It used to be 6 months. Not aware of the change)
* Make sure the account has been active for that period. If possible, intentionally put money in it from time to time and withdraw. Just to make it active. Dont open a new account today and deposit 1.5m there tomorrow.
* Even if u have the 1.5m at once, try to drop it in the account in bits. Like 3-4 installments.
* Make sure that all those deposits are either self deposits or deposited by your sponsor. They will go through every line of transaction and if an huge amount was deposited by someone other than you or your sponsor, they will ask questions.
* Now, when u apply, at the embassy, on interview day, u will fill a consent form. This authorizes the embassy to request for your statement from the bank directly. This means that, be prepared to have that 1.5m there for the entire application period. You can perform transactions on the account but dont let the balance fall below 1.5m at any point in time.
* When embassy receives the application, they dont process it. They forward it to migri in Finland. Between 2wks-1month after you apply, migri will contact u directly asking for some additional documents. This includes your SOA from the date you visited embassy till the date you were contacted by migri. So from there they will know if you actually withdrew the money immediately u applied. So its best to leave the money there throughout. Just plead to the owner of the money and if possible tell them before hand.

When you eventually get your RP, you can wipe out your account same day.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!!

Guy I understand your way, it no dey easy to have such amount in our account, you know what? If u wana borrow the owo just let them give you 2 to 3 months, even if they need to withdraw let it be withdraw and put immediately. Till RP comes out.

you said it all

@icerberg54 and adebasket thanks for the clarification.
@iceberg how long did it take for your rp application to be processed, did u apply online before submitting the document to the embassy(it's regard sending another SOA stuff).
from what I just read from the migri website. the average processing time was 19 days for 2013.
the reason am asking this is because the source of d money na community effort just want to be sure before sourcing for benefactors.
I guess u are in Aalto do those guys accept scanned ielt results and what are the chances of a cgpa of let say 3.4(2.2)

My Rp took about 8 weeks. I didn't apply online. I heard it was much faster for guys that came in this year. So try to apply online. Cos then migri gets ur docs directly instead of having to wait for embassy to send it.

I did Toefl, so i don't know whats up with the IELTS stuff.

For CGPA, they dont usually specify any minimum requirement. However, because the competition is always keen, you are advised to apply to at least 4 schools. Increases your chances.

Cheers!

which uni u wan apply to?

The embassy as the write to verify Ur Bank details

jeffoe:
with regards the 3 month s.o.a I need some clarification.
will the SOA show that 1.5 mil was in your account for three month
must the SOA be for a three month period
what of , if in the 3 month period of the SOA it shows that the 1.5 mill came in during the last week of the three month period
how much should be in your sponsor SOA i.e. the minimum
has anyone gotten the SOA before how does it look like.
what of if one just deposit the huge amount get the SOA and completely withdraw the funds.
I know the bank will not disclose my account balance to the embassy so there is no way the embassy will know if I had the money withdrawn afterwards if it doesn't reflect in the SOA. a beg I need clarification.
in previous post I have read it's always says one requires a SOA but I didn't take notice of the three month stuff.

For people that have written iELTS, did you go to the test with your phone?

Nope. Pple did but its risky. You wud be asked to put it in an envelop, it wud be staples and left outside along with many other envelops. Summary, after the exam, the rush might be much n person fit collect ur envelop waka
